Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 and AirAsia Flight 801 plane crashes are amongst the most dissected disasters last year 2014 truth to tell. For the uninitiated, it's easy to dismiss both as unrelated as they happen months apart but a closer look could reveal one stunning twist in answer to the question: Is there a chance that both airline disasters are part of one big conspiracy?
First stop, a similarity. Both disasters involve airlines that are based in Malaysia. If there's one country that has amassed such a massive outpouring of inquiries from relatives and loved ones, it would have to be Malaysia.
Compounding these two disasters is another disaster involving Malaysia Airlines, Flight 17 which everybody knows was shot down over East Ukraine. End of story. The only mystery is the amazing finger-pointing and whodunit stories.
Another point of contention is declaration of emergency. AirAsia flight QZ8501 which is shortened to flight 801, an Airbus A320-200 took off from Surabaya, currently Indonesia's second largest city at dawn, exactly at 5:31am. Subsequently, records show last communication between Jakarta's air traffic and the plane's pilot was logged at 6:13am.
But by 6:18am, all contacts were lost and what remain on the radar screen was the flight plan view. Nothing more.
What is suspect is it took time for air traffic control to declare "INCERFA" a codename meaning aircraft position is uncertain. Specifically, it was only at 7:08am that an official INCERFA was given.
Added to this, emergency alert was announced at 7:55am and "emergency distress" called at 7:55am.
While this is disturbing, it ran parallel to what happened to Flight MH370/MAS370's fate which took nearly four long hours after the plane was lost for air traffic controls to declare an INCERFA.
Another critical point is the area where the two flights were lost, as allegedly both were near military base camps.
AirAsia aircraft went down in an area not far from the Indonesian naval base at Bangka Belitung while speculations are rife that MH370 disappeared on Diego Garcia, a British-owned island within the Indian Ocean known to house a major US military base.
Then to add more fuel to the fire, there is that numerological explanation extracted from the Bible more popularly known as the Bible Code. It's basically a computer running numbers on the verses of Bible - on a complex equation and derivation we know not how it's arrived - that linked to these the disasters, has connected the likes of aliens and UFO's to these deaths.
For curiosity's sake, a sampling. According to the Bible Code Analysis: Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 which happened on March 8, 2014 gave the resulting words SORROW, NINTH ISLAND, FACE OF THE EARTH, DELIVER, DIE, BROKEN, FEAR, IRON, HAND OF THEM WHOSE FACE THOU FEAR.

To note, authorities from different countries - from US to Australia - scour the Indian Ocean for months using the latest technology but to no avail. Needless to say, untold sorrow and unheard-of emotions have swelled due to the passing of the 239 people off to Beijing, China and who took that Boeing 777 flight MH370. Lost without a trace.
In the aftermath, Malaysia Airlines, long hailed as the official carrier of the country, is worst hit as the company is struggling with bankruptcy to date. And Malaysia as a country has seen a bourne the biggest brunt of the blame game. AirAsia with Tony Fernandez appears robust even with the recent disaster.
However you look at it, more questions than answers have been equated to Malaysia flight MH370 and AirAsia Flight 801 until today.
